} Transparent caching really would be a poor solution. But if you have to, you
} could maybe use a linux box with its transparent proxy features. Then you'll
} have to change the request as it comes in from e.g. GET /fred.html to GET
} http://host/fred.html using the IP address to determine the "host" part.
} Then send that to squid running as normal on e.g. port 3128.

You could probably just use the IP address here... if its a 1.1 virtual
then the hostname can be got from the request, otherwise it doesn't
matter. So the request would be changed to
        GET http://1.2.3.4/fred.html
